car accidents

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are over 200 million licensed drivers, with over 250 million registered vehicles in the United States. With all these motorists and vehicles on the roads, it is not surprising that someone in the United States is involved in a car accident every 10 seconds.

Our St. Louis injury lawyers handle a wide variety of injury and accident cases, including car and commercial truck accidents. In fact, auto accident claims are one of the most common cases filed by injury attorneys. Generally filed under general negligence principles, the attorney for the plaintiff injured in a car accident has to prove that the defendant was negligent as defined by the law. Furthermore, the lawyer also needs to prove that the negligence was the reason or a proximate cause for the accident and the plaintiff’s injuries.

Conversely, the defendant’s attorney will likely contest these issues, and may raise the topic of contributory negligence and assumption of risk to negate any claim of liability.

An experienced injury lawyer will work to aggressively seek compensation for your injuries, medical bills, loss of income and damage or loss of property as a result of the car accident.
